Know

pipes, storms, collapsed roof, or other problem that caused the water damage.

a professional.

When
dealing with this water damage in the Grand Junction problem, you need to secure your stuff. If you
have boxes down in the rotten basement, get them out while you still can.
Hopefully you have insurance and realize they’re just objects.
You
do, however, have to think about appliances. Remember water and electricity
doesn’t mix. If the power is live, and you can’t accomplish these tasks
yourself, call for help. You need to remove electrical devices and kill the
power when floods happen.
Again,
if you can block the source of the water, try it. Document and report. Call the
insurance company for help. If you don’t have flood insurance, you might not
get the help you need. Either way, plan ahead or stay prepared for the worst.
